Post by: Turnsky on November 25, 2004, 02:19:10 am: well, i won't say anything about it, but then again, a picture is worth a 1000 words... more if it has words in the picture itself..

Post by: Ghostavo on November 25, 2004, 02:29:51 am: I still don't know why people find BCMG and UC difficult to play. All you have to do is do what you would for any normal FPS with the exception of a few command keys, but that is why there is a manual. Hell, I found Microsoft Flight Sims much, MUCH more difficult to play with.

At least they could give coverage of the bad parts of the game, like the absence of goals, the extremelly short campaign (1 mission, 24 hours to complete it), the clomsy FPS combat, and other things expected from a jack of all trades type of game.

I play Universal Combat for 15 Minutes and then i uninstalled this "Game".

And Battlecruiser Millenium i play for 1 hour.

Derek Smart have good ideas in his Games, but the Controls and other things, were only "Bad" i think, his Games are one of the worest Games ever but with interessing ideas.

This month? Does $50 count as a budget re-release or something?

We keep a yard full of them around for this very purpose. Choose your ram well, and avoid the pre-used ones. :nervous:

Is there some irony that I was listening to Sympathy for the Devil while reading your post?
